K 1350 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Recognizing May 15, 2026, as Go Purple for Kids in Care Day, in conjunction with the observance of National Foster Care Awareness Month

This bill designates May 15, 2026, as "Go Purple for Kids in Care Day" to highlight the importance of foster care services. It directly affects the organization Together For Youth, which is leading a statewide awareness campaign encouraging people to wear purple and support foster families. The resolution does not change any laws or funding but serves as a formal acknowledgment of the organization's work and the need for more foster parents. A copy of the resolution will be sent to Together For Youth to recognize their efforts in providing care for children in need.
